Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative solar interconnection: what it requires before you energize

TVA LPC co-op (about 35,000 members across Marion, Grundy, Sequatchie, and Bledsoe counties), so the TVA framework row applies: no net metering exists, exports only pay through TVA's Dispersed Power Production at avoided cost. documented

Process per their own pages: interconnection application with a line diagram and a copy of the final building permit, State of Tennessee inspections, then written permission to operate. Their PTO clock is unusually fast, typically 5 to 10 business days after paperwork, 30 max, and putting your email on the application speeds it up. documented

Their own caveat: engineering review may find upgrades are needed to support your system, at your cost and with delay. documented

Note for DIYers: every step on their pages says 'your contractor', the process language assumes one throughout. Application fee and buyback specifics are being verified, one call to the co-op pins them down. being verified

In Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative territory, exported power earns well below retail, which is why zero-export and self-consumption builds dominate here.

Craftstrom export controller · AP Systems EZ-1 — caps export in hardware

EG4 6000xp / 12000xp — the community-standard inverter for self-consumption builds, mind bypass-mode leakage
